Sam Smith Sends A Message To Homophobic Trolls

The singer/songwriter shared a screenshot of an Instagram account that has been created with the sole intention of trolling him. The account, that has the username GaySamSmith, has a hateful bio which include the words: “he is gay, but that’s ok, we can all make fun of him.”

The Lay Me Down singer accompanied the photograph with the statement: “This genuinely doesn’t offend me, coz I’m way too tick skinned when it comes to this kind of s***. BUT I just wanted to share this with everyone, so you can see how homophobia is still SO PRESENT in our society!!”

There’s no denying that Sam has a very powerful, and very beautiful, voice. And it’s amazing to see that he’s also using that to speak about such an important equality issue.

Sam’s Instagram account has 4.5 million followers, which shows just the beginning of his ever-growing fan base.

He revealed how he finally silenced his haters, saying: “‘I came out at the end of year seven when I was 11. That shut a lot of the bullies up. I also made friends with some really nice girls and was singing. I’d like to think I was a nice person and people respected me at my school.”
